This is my second time reading this book and I still loved it as much as I did reading it for the first time. Sarah's writing style - Im not sure I could describe it in a way that does it justice - is able to suck me in, every single time. I love how in her books, the endings are always ones that make me smile, and I also love how all of her books, while seperate entities, are placed within the same universe. Seeing old characters mention or react with new characters is so great.
I am a major fan of Sarah Dessen. My daughter and I listened to this in the car on our trip back and forth to Atlanta.
It has everything of a coming of age novel should have-boys, feeling awkward and controversy with your mother. And she pulls it together wonderfully.

3.5 Stars [5 stars for the last paragraphs ;) ]
I really enjoyed this book especially the end which was wonderful. The reason I couldn't give it more stars than 3 was that I found it was quite slow paced and there wasn't much action... At the start I actually hesitated to continue on with it but I wanted to see what had earned it so many good ratings.
It reminded me of Forever – is composed of Nows from Emily Dickinson which is why I picked it up.
Anyway, I would recommend it for a quick enjoyable read.
